There are several reasons why some people keep having malaria at short intervals.
1. Poor management due to lack of adherence to medication. * the size and smell alone can be a turn-off for some, I know this but for others all they want is injections💉
2. Timely dosing.
Do you know artemether-lufematrine malaria drugs are to be taken as
(1st dose 0hr , 2nd dose 8hrs later) 1st day
(3rd dose 24hrs, 4th dose 12hrs later)2nd day
(5th..... it can be confusing so we just say morning and evening.
Let's make it easier
E.g
(1st 0hr 10am - 2nd 8hrs later is 6pm)
(3rd 10am - 4th 10pm)2nd day
(5th 10am - 6th 10pm) 3rd day
3. Living in Swampy or bushy environment
4. Not using mosquito nets, repellant or aerosol.
You can share your personal reasons, I would like to hear from you 🙂
